Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

The next day, a rumor spread in Chang'an City that Han Wang Li Ke prevented the prince from getting married.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.I don't know who spread this rumor, but it slowly spread among the people of Chang'an like a contagious disease, and caused some controversy.Many people in Chang'an respected Li Ke very much. This is the reputation he accumulated through Cuju competitions and missions to Turks.Therefore, they scoffed at the rumor that Li Ke prevented the prince's wedding, thinking that someone was deliberately fabricating rumors to slander the King of Han.But there are still some people who think that this is not a rumor or slander, but a fact.In order to prove that it is true that Li Ke is greedy for beauty and prevents his brother from getting married, they even asked how Li Ke and Hou Ruoyi met and how they got along. How to face the saint after marriage and other things are well said.However, what happened between Li Ke and Hou Ruoyi was true.Therefore, they cited the stories of Li Ke and Hou Ruoyi, and then linked them with the rumors to make a big publicity, which made it difficult for many people who supported and believed in Li Ke to refute.

Li Ke, who was in the palace of the King of Han, sighed slightly when he heard the rumors outside. He felt sad for his love.He didn't want to know who spread the rumors outside, and it didn't matter. What was important was that he knew that the person who planned the prince's wedding was Changsun Wuji.Because, Changsun Wuji's favorite method is to use force to deal with others.What's more, he planned to attack and kill with one blow. This is the most terrifying side of him.

However, many people think that the marriage contract between Li Chengqian and Hou Ruoyi was a coincidence, but Li Ke doesn't think so. Li Ke thinks that this is a strategy that his eldest grandson Wuji has been planning against him since he and Hou Ruoyi got acquainted.He himself does not make diplomatic missions to Turks, so Hou Ruoyi's marriage to Li Chengqian will still happen.It's just that his own mission to Turkic made the big marriage decided smoothly without any resistance.

From this incident, Li Ke once again learned about Changsun Wuji's city and resourcefulness.When I got acquainted with Hou Ruoyi and then interacted with each other, Changsun Wuji didn't take any action to worry about or stop this matter, not even a little reaction.But in fact, he had already started planning this matter in his heart when he knew that the two were in contact.It can be seen that the depth of his city is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Secondly, how can the prince's big wedding be a joke? It must be completed in accordance with the six rituals stipulated in the "Book of Rites? Hunyi", namely: Na Cai, ask the name, Na Ji, accept the levy, ask for a date, and welcome in person.The so-called adoption means that if the man wants to get married with the woman, he must ask a matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman. After receiving the consent, he will formally accept the "gift of adoption" to the woman's family.That is, as the saying goes, the order of parents and the words of matchmakers.However, although Li Chengqian is the crown prince, his etiquette cannot be abandoned.Asking a matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman cannot be avoided.He doesn't need to worry about matters such as asking about names and Najib, and someone will help him.Therefore, he only needs Li Shimin to make a decree to marry Hou Ruoyi.

Then, it is the so-called Na Zheng, which is to give a dowry gift.The crown prince got married, and the dowry was naturally expensive.After accepting the levy, there is an application period, which is to choose the date of the prince's wedding.This is because Si Tiantai needs to count the auspicious days before he can marry a new person.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji was able to complete the five steps of the marriage within one month, and even the most important application date was calculated in advance, and it was chosen at the end of the year.The prince's wedding has reached such a point, even if Li Ke has the ability to reach the sky, it will be useless to oppose it.Because all the procedures of the marriage have been completed, there is no need to greet them personally, that is to say, no one can stop this marriage at this time.It can be seen that such a precise design can be completed in a short time?There is only one explanation, that is, all the plans have been prepared in advance, and they will be completed during the period when Li Ke is going to Turkic as an envoy.

Li Ke was very calm when he heard the rumors about Chang'an City in the mansion. The reason why he was able to be so calm was because the conversation between him and Concubine Yang in the study yesterday made him understand everything about the marriage contract between Li Chengqian and Hou Ruoyi.Concubine Yang didn't dissuade him in the study, she just told Li Ke all the details of Hou Ruoyi's marriage.Li Ke is not stupid, he understood the seriousness of the matter after listening to Concubine Yang's story.Knowing that no matter how much I try to persuade and stop it, there is no room for maneuver when this matter develops to the point where it is today.Moreover, he also guessed that there would definitely be rumors about his resistance to marriage the next day, and someone would definitely not let go of this opportunity to slander his reputation among the people.Therefore, he hosted a banquet in the mansion last night to treat everyone in order to target the rumors in Chang'an City today.Yesterday, when he came out of the study, he had an idea in his mind, and the reason why he ordered everyone to hold a banquet in the mansion to entertain everyone was not only to arrange the promotion of the people after he merged with the state, but also to target today's rumors.He wanted to tell those who spread rumors to slander him that when he knew Li Chengqian and Hou Ruoyi were married, he was able to host a banquet for everyone in the mansion. Why?It was because he wanted to celebrate the prince's wedding in this way.

Therefore, it is reported from the Hanwang Mansion that the Hanwang held a banquet in the mansion to entertain the officials last night, after the event to celebrate the prince’s wedding. Of course, the officials here refer to Li Ke’s confidantes. The rumors about the elder brother's marriage are self-defeating.Li Ke's reputation has not been affected in the slightest.

However, the people in Chang'an could believe that Li Ke's banquet was held to celebrate the prince's wedding, but many ministers in the court believed that Li Ke's entertainment was to deceive people, and the real purpose was to discuss how to treat the prince's wedding.However, this can only be their guess. As for the content of the detailed discussion, they themselves can't explain why.In addition, members of the Hanwang Party all admitted that Li Ke hosted the banquet to celebrate the prince's wedding, and everyone kept tight-lipped about everything else.Therefore, Changsun Wuji's scheme to destroy Li Ke's reputation through the mouths of Chang'an people and ministers was easily deciphered by Li Ke.

At this time, Li Ke stood in the courtyard in the book, standing alone in the evening after the snow, just like a plum in the snow, lonely and tall. "Ruoyi" he sighed softly, "how are you now? I hope you will be well and wait for us to meet again." Although Yi Ren met him yesterday and just left.However, because she had already been promised marriage to Prince Li Chengqian at this time.Therefore, at this time, Li Ke felt melancholy and lonely; he blamed himself for being incompetent and unable to protect Ruoyi, and regretted that he was too arrogant. Junji marriage.Therefore, Ruoyi's departure was like hollowing out his previously solid chest, making him unable to find the trembling of his own heartbeat.

"Ruoyi, we will meet each other!" Li Ke prayed silently in his heart. At the same time, he looked at the wintersweet in the snow in front of him, the delicate and beautiful plum blossoms, the faint fragrance, standing alone in the white snow, he couldn't help but wonder In front of him, the legacy of Samuume in the Snow was moved independently. "The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." He secretly sighed, "All things must be paid for in order to be rewarded. It is my lack of dedication to Ruoyi that leads to today's results!" Li Ke thought in his heart Saying silently, people can't help but fall into deep thought.

"Your Highness! Your Highness." Just when Li Ke was in a daze, Yang En's voice reached his ears, breaking his tranquility and contemplation.

"Oh." Li Ke suddenly came back to his senses, and said to Yang En, who was looking worried, "What's the matter, Mr. Yang?"

"Your Highness, this is a letter from a girl outside the door just now," Yang En said as he handed the letter to Li Ke, "She said that you must open it for yourself."

"Girl?" Li Ke glanced at the letter that was signed by no one, and only wrote "Han Wang's personal letter" and asked in confusion. I really thought I hadn't met any woman recently, so why did a girl suddenly give it to me? What about letters?Could it be Ruoyi?Thinking of this, Li Ke immediately blackmailed and opened the letter.

However, he was disappointed the first time he saw the letter, it wasn't the letter Zoyi gave him.Because he knew Ruoyi's font, and her elegant font revealed a fresh and elegant temperament. Although the font on the letter in front of him was delicate, it was still slightly inferior to Ruoyi's. The font on this letter is not the royal style that Ruoyi likes.

Li Ke weakly began to read the contents of the letter, and even hated in his heart that the letter came at an untimely time, which broke his own longing for Ruoyi in the tranquility.When he read the letter, he showed a look of extreme boredom on his face, and scanned the letter at a speed of ten lines at a glance.

Yang En, who was beside him, saw that he was listlessly reading the letter, shook his head slightly, and sighed inwardly, "His Royal Highness seems to be fine, but in fact this matter has hit him hard, and now he is I'm trying my best to hide the pain in my heart, I don't want people to know the pain in his heart and I miss Huo Ruoyi." Thinking of this, Yang En raised his head and glanced at Li Ke who was reading the letter, feeling sore in his heart.Li Ke treated him with the courtesy of a teacher, and Concubine Yang treated him with the courtesy of a scholar. Li Ke's position in his heart was more important than his own life. Today he saw Li Ke's true inner thoughts, how could he not Sad and sorry for him?

Yang En felt that he should say something to Li Ke, at least to persuade him, and then wait for him to focus on Li Ke's face again.Li Ke showed a long-lost faint smile on his face.Yang En was startled, he didn't know why Hou Li Ke smiled, his current appearance was completely different from the distressed sobriety just now.Could it be this letter?Yang En was puzzled.

"So it's you, so it's you!" Yang En was puzzled and at the same time heard the inexplicable words that Li Ke said to himself.
